Flammable liquids styrene

The ability of PolyHIPE materials to absorb liquids has been exploited in experiments on their potential use as carrier materials for the safe transport of hazardous or flammable liquids [128]. A poly(styrene/DVB) sample was able to absorb twenty times its own weight of liquid paraffin, simply by immersing the material in the liquid. However, the problem in this application is the subsequent removal of the liquid from the polymer. This can only be achieved by vacuum distillation, which is very difficult with high boiling liquids.

Vinyl acetate is a colorless, flammable liquid having an initially pleasant odor which quickly becomes sharp and irritating. Table 1 lists the physical properties of the monomer. Information on properties, safety, and handling of vinyl acetate has been published (5—9). The vapor pressure, heat of vaporization, vapor heat capacity, liquid heat capacity, liquid density, vapor viscosity, liquid viscosity, surface tension, vapor thermal conductivity, and liquid thermal conductivity profile over temperature ranges have also been published (10). Table 2 (11) lists the solubility information for vinyl acetate. Unlike monomers such as styrene, vinyl acetate has a significant level of solubility in water which contributes to unique polymerization behavior. Vinyl acetate forms azeotropic mixtures (Table 3) (12). 

Synonyms and trade names benzene, benzine, benzol, aromatic hydrocarbon Uses and exposure Benzene is a colorless, flammable liquid with a pleasant odor. It is used as a solvent in many industries, such as rubber and shoe manufacturing and in the production of other important substances such as styrene, phenol, and cyclohexane. It is essential in the manufacture of detergents, pesticides, solvents, and paint removers. It is present in fuels such as in gasoline up to the level of 5%. There are several uses for benzene. ... 

METHYL STYRENE or 3-METHYL STYRENE or 4-METHYL STYRENE or m-METHYL STYRENE or p-METHYL STYRENE mixed Isomers (25013-15-4) C,H,o Flammable liquid. Forms explosive mixture with air (flash point 125°F/51°C). An inhibitor, usually 10 to 50 ppm of tert-butyl catechol, must be present in adequate concentrations to avoid explosive polymerization. Violent reaction with strong oxidizers, strong acids, peroxides and hydroperoxides. Incompatible with catalysts for vinyl or ionic polymers aluminum, aliuninum chloride, ammonia, aliphatic amines, alkanolamines, caustics, copper, halogens, iron chloride, metal salts (e.g., chlorides, iodides, sulfates, nitrates). The uninhibited monomer vapor may block vents and confined spaces by, forming a solid polymer material. On small fires, use dry chemical powder (such as Purple-K-Powder), foam, or CO extinguishers. a-METHYL STYRENE (98-83-9) C,H, Flammable liquid. Forms explosive mixture with air [explosion limits in air (vol %) 0.9 to 6.1 flashpoint 129°F/54°C autoignition temp 1066°F/574°C Fire Rating 2]. Easily polymerizable. Unless inhibited, forms unstable peroxides. Reacts with heat and/or lack of appropriate inhibitor concentration. Reacts with catalysts for vinyl or ionic polymerization, such as aluminum, iron chloride or 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(ieri-butylperoxy)hexane. Violent reaction with... 

Ethylbenzene (eth-il-BEN-zeen) is a colorless flammable liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon, that is, a compound consisting of carbon and hydrogen only with a molecular structure similar to that of benzene (C6H6). In 3004 it ranked fifteenth among chemicals produced in the United States. Its primary use is in the manufacture of another aromatic hydrocarbon, styrene (C6HSCH=CH2), widely used to make a number of polymers, such as polystyrene, styrene-butadiene latex, SBR rubber, and ABS rubber. 

Flammable liquids may undergo a chemical reaction called polymerization, in which a large number of simple molecules, called monomers, combine to form long-chained molecule called a polymer. This process is used under controlled conditions to create plastics (see Fignre 5.17). AUcene hydrocarbon compounds and hydrocarbon derivatives, such as aldehydes, alkyl halides, and esters, and the aromatic hydrocarbon styrene may nndergo polymerization. There are other monomers that are flammable and can polymerize, but their primary hazard is poison. Monomers can be flammable liquids, flammable gases, and poisons. 

Styrene is stored in a flammable liquid storage cabinet, separated from oxidizing substances. 

Acrylonitrile resembles VC, a carcinogen, in structure. It is a flammable, explosive liquid (b.p. 77 C, V.P. 80 mm at 20°C). AN is a component of acrylic and modacrylic fibers produced by copolymerization with other monomers, e.g., with methyl acrylate, Me-methacrylate, vinyl acetate, VC and VDC. Other major uses of AN include copolymerizations with butadiene and styrene to produce ABS polymers, and with styrene to yield SAN resins which are used in the manufacture of plastics. Nitrile elastomers and latexes are also made with AN, as are a number of other chemicals, e.g. acrylamide and adiponitrile. Acrylonitrile is also used as a fumigant. 

Styrene is a colorless, oily, liquid aromatic hydrocarbon with a characteristic odor. It is sometimes called vinylbenzene or phenylethylene. Styrene is a monomer and must be inhibited during transportation and storage to prevent polymerization. It is a moderate fire risk, with a flammable range of 1.1 to 6.1%. The boiling point is 295°F, with a flash point of 88°F and an ignition temperature of 914°F. Small... 

Polyester Resin Kit. The proper shipping name Polyester resin kit covers different kits such as filler, bonding and sealing compounds, chemical anchors and fibreglass repair kits. A polyester resin kit commonly consists of an unsaturated polyester resin mixed with styrene and a separate hardener (usually a phlegmatized organic peroxide) as a minor component. The main component (viscous liquid or paste) is inherently flammable due to the styrene content (flash point 29°C to 32°C). ICAO A2, lATA App. A...
